Daily Stream Recap


I managed to get out of an artistic down, break the rut, create human AJ!
Better received than I imagined oh my, that makes me so happy :D
Didn't manage to finish anything else, but that's ok! It's not always about quantity. At least I managed to feel comfortable making things again.
Also, time lapse!

Next Midweek's daily stream Plan:


Gotta be honest, I've been losing track of all the things to do this week, so many things!
Art for sure though, more humans can be expected, there's also some other impacting things going on, getting commissions updated. Plenty to do I guess.

PC Failures


What is it with me and things breaking down lately hehe. Lights wire inside the wall broke, had to get new mouse, one of my phone batteries derps, the network here derped before as in the previous Saturday Journal was described and today my PC derped... didn't want to boot any more. Ended up less serious than it appeared as nothing has to be replaced and nothing was lost.

Here's the recap I made in my journal about it ( fav.me/d7b3xlu )

"Everything seems to fixed. Recap time!
Nothing appears to be broken. I can access all my hard drives. Time to calm my mind heh.

So how it started. Drives disappeared, my art drive... I just about panicked right there. Things started malfunctioning, PC was still running though. (Should've been my first hint the C:\ drive didn't physically break)
Since I couldn't get my drives back software wise, I restarted PC. there I got that message... "bootmgr missing"

Last time I had that was about 7 years or so ago? (give take few years), which was a hardware failure and the loss of 2 drives + all the data on it
Or well, couldn't access a non-boot drive and called that one a loss. The C drive back then was wasted.
So my mind went to that this time as well...

Going into my BIOS it also wouldn't even see my C and Art drive. That did make me think they were broken. Like last time (even though just a moment ago my PC was running fine and I turned my PC off myself)
Plugged everything else out, all other drives. Eventually I did manage to see my C drive, so I was happy because that would mean my art drive should be seen as well. (plugged it out)

To start recovering from install, I got a disk drive (don't have one build in haha). Disk showed the same message. Went searching for another install disk, same thing. Then I knew it might have to do with the disk drive I used (took me an hour to get through this, not exactly calming situation... like... was my BIOS broken?)

New drive found, plugged in, it worked, it sooo worked, it saw the disk, managed to boot it from there. Tried recovery of my drive and everything rolled, got back in, onto my desktop and here I am, typing this, streaming to get my mind calmed again. I'll admit I almost panicked hehe."

It is awful when something like that malfunctions, I haven't had any serious issues with hard drives or computers but I do remember losing data because of a corrupted USB or so. It sure is annoying and makes one wonder: what did I do to deserve such an awful thing?

However, I remember having something very stupid happen to me with hard drives and memory loss. One day I was cleaning up some files from my Xbox 360's hard drive, game demos and the like. I wanted to erase my gamer tag from that hard drive to download it again from the cloud. But, when you get the pop-up box saying the classic "are you sure you want to delete this file?" it has 3 options for it: delete only the profile, delete profile and documents or cancel. I accidentally hit on "delete profile and documents", so every single saved game I had of every single game I've played went to hell. I completely broke down and got seriously mad for it, it was certainly one of the worst things to happen to me. And the worst thing of it is that I caused it unintentionally... but well, good thing was that I had backed-up some saves to other hard drives or USBs. Now there's no month in which I don't make a full back-up of every file I have...

Which reminds me, it might be a good idea to do this month's back up... XD.
